How to make a self -check for the amount of water leakage of the toilet

On weekdays, the water consumption of the two months in the family was about 10 tons. Recently, when the water cost of April and May, it was found that the total water consumption of these two months was as high as 24 tons. I am surprised, suspecting that there is a dark leak in the home.

Recently, the reporter followed the staff of the Luoyang Bei Control Water Group Co., Ltd. (referred to as Luoyang Beicha Water Group) to go to Mr. Sun's house to investigate and experience the self -testing of home testing on the spot.

The abnormal water with water increased, it turned out to be caused by the dark leakage of the toilet

"These two months have increased significantly in water, but there is no great change in water habits compared to before. Is this what happened?" Mr. Sun had a doubt about Li Jundao, a watchmaker of Luoyang Beicha Water Group, Li Jun.

Mr. Sun said that in normal times, only him and his wife lived here. There were no abnormalities in the daily water use process. For whether there was a dark leakage at home, they could not detect by listening to the sound and so on. Check the door.

What factors may be caused by the increase in water abnormal water? Li Jun said that in this case, the following aspects must be viewed: washing machines entering and exit water pipes, kitchen sewer, toilet toilet, and whether the home uses water heaters and water purifiers. For example, the water purifier installed in some families with a "automatic roll -out washing" device. When the control system fails, and repeatedly carry out routing and drainage, a large amount of water will be unknowingly produced.

"The situation of the toilet secret leakage is the most common." Li Jun added that after the on -site investigation, the situation of Mr. Sun's family belonged to this category.

The toilet leaky can be checked by itself, you can add some ink to try

Mr. Sun's family used a toilet. The reporter observed and heard the sound through the naked eye, and did not notice the leakage.

"Many people are used to leaving immediately after using the toilet, and even the sound of leakage is not easy to detect." Li Jun said that in fact, there are two methods of testing more intuitive.

Method 1: Observe the water meter

Taking Mr. Sun's far -pass smart water meter as an example. The reporter found that after using the toilet, the water meter rotated quickly, and then slowly turned.

"The water meter will quickly rotate indicates that the toilet is injected with water. Under normal circumstances, the water meter will stop rotating when the water is filled. If there is a dark leak, the water meter will continue to turn slowly." Li Jun explained.

Method 2: Add ink self -examination

Open the water tank after the toilet, drip in a few drops of blue ink, and press the flushing keys after the water color changes. After completing the flushing, the toilet is restored to calm. When there is a thin blue water flowing out along the inner wall of the toilet, it indicates that there is a leakage.

"Because the water is a colorless and transparent liquid, it is difficult for people to find that even if there is a dark leak, it is easy to find through the color water inspection." Li Jun said that citizens can also use other non -ferrous liquids such as soy sauce, toilet cleansing spirit, etc. Replace ink.

The reporter saw that the toilet had a dark leak, mainly because the keys could not be bounced automatically after the flushing, and the floating seeds in the water tank could not be attributed, but because the water flow was small, it was impossible to distinguish by listening. Li Jun cleaned the inside of the hedge and cut the nut to "solve the problem" cleverly.

"The toilet and water tank in the home should pay attention to daily maintenance. It is found that there are sediments or parts of parts damaged, and they should be maintained in time." Li Jun reminded.

Home use water, these good habits help you save water

Entering summer, everyone has increased frequency, bathing, and so on. Family water may increase. How can we usually save water? You may wish to know these good habits.
